One of the main attractions of working with birds is the fascinating diversity of patients treated. Each of them represents a challenge, such as treating a parrot with sinusitis or a nymph for chronic egg retention. However, before treating these unique species, one must specialize in the essentials: the internal structure and function of birds.

The ability to fly has made it possible for birds to occupy a wide diversity of habitats, consequently developing numerous adaptations to obtain sustenance. This characteristic has resulted in almost 10,000 species in the taxonomic classification of birds. This program covers interspecies variations, avian anatomy and physiology.

Thus, physical examination is a fundamental part in diagnosing avian disorders and it involves handling and holding the bird in order to carry out the necessary explorations to care for it. However, even before taking a bird for handling, information on the patient must be gathered beforehand by means of an anamnesis as complete as possible.
